With gorbachev it was a turn to ~~democratic~~ liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to ~~autocratic neo-mercantalism~~ fascism.

Nothing about Russia after the USSR is democratic, not even the dissolution. As for the US, yeah its just fascism, fits the mold quite well.

not even the dissolution

Especially not the dissolution. They had a referendum to attempt to legitimize the dissolution, which failed in a landslide, and then they ignored it and did it anyway.
